I Replaced Windows 11 With Zorin OS (It Was Shockingly Easy)

Most people complain about Windows 11. A few tolerate it. And a tiny, quiet group does something different.

They leave.

This video is about how I replaced Windows 11 with Zorin OS, and how shockingly easy it was. No terminal. No weird commands. No Linux pain. Just a clean install, a smooth desktop, and a PC that finally feels like it belongs to me again.
